I came to Hiroshima University on the HUSA (Hiroshima University Study
Abroad) program 3 years ago, and am now studying as a regular student.
Hiroshima University conducts a wide range of international exchange, and has
an environment where students encounter many and diverse different cultures.
Through festivals, homestays, and other events, international students
experience traditional Japanese culture and family living while learning about
Japanese society and organizations through courses on Japanese language,
Japanese current affairs, and internships.

The university is located in a port city surrounded by nature. Students can learnin small class sizes and gain specialized knowledge in a variety of fields
including traditional culture, living customs, history, government, andeconomics. Students experiencing problems can consult with the medical officeor their tutor instructors, and can study in their major field while receiving direct
instruction from the instructor in seminars with a low teacher to student ratio. A
variety of exchange events and scholarships are also available for international
students. I am having a wonderful time in my life as an international student at
Onomichi City University and I am very happy that I came to Japan.

As an overseas student studying at PUH, the international office has made my wholeyear here extremely easy. With help with medical issues to simply sorting out mypost, they have always been there to help. They are always arranging fun
extracurricular activities for the foreign students to go on allowing us to make friends
with other Japanese students. The academic side has also been a breeze as all myclasses are taught in English and the teachers are very understanding which makesthese new modules interesting. Overall as a foreign student at PUH my expectations
have been exceeded, this university has given me the opportunity to move far out of
my comfort zone and experience what was once a completely new land to me.

I became very interested in the subjects of Hiroshima, peace, and the atomic
bombing when I participated in an intensive summer course (H&P) at Hiroshima City
University, and I enrolled in the university's Graduate School of International Studies
doctoral degree program. I am sure that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima andNagasaki in 1945, and the horrific effects of radiation, are something that must be
remembered so that humanity never suffers the same fate again. As a Hungarian, I
hope that I can contribute to the achievement of lasting world peace that is theHiroshima goal.

In the Faculty of Urban Management at Fukuyama City University, students canlearn not only about economics, but also gain broad-based knowledge about
subjects such as urban development and public policy. Students can also
consult with instructors or with the "Mind and Body Support Center" about any
difficulties in their lives. I think that Fukuyama City is a very comfortable city forinternational students to live.

The environment and facilities of this university are excellent, and students canpractice on grand pianos as well as upright instruments. The library has acomplete collection of music-related materials, and Cecelia Hall is a fantastic
place to experience the beauty of music. The teaching philosophy of the faculty isadvanced and focused on fine-tuned instruction for individual students. As a
Catholic university, the school also allows students the unique opportunity to learn
the cembalo and pipe organ. It has an active international exchange program, andstudents can receive instruction from globally well-known musicians. The locationin the center of Hiroshima City is also a strong selling point.

The International Education Exchange and Career Center of this university provides
a place where students can consult on any subject ranging from academic courses
to issues in their everyday lives. In addition to the tuition waiver system, theuniversity also has a full range of support systems including independent university
scholarships and a variety of job-seeking support programs. I am enjoying afulfilling student life as I learn about marketing in seminars, and participate inactivities of the International Student Association and the twice annual trips forstudy of other cultures. Living close to the city center is convenient not only forcommuting to school, but also for part-time work and shopping.

I enrolled in the Hiroshima Institute of Technology in April 2014. I entered theDepartment of Architectural Engineering, where I learned about architecture andcity development. In April 2016, I advanced to the Civil and ArchitecturalEngineering School at the Hiroshima Institute of Technology Graduate School of
Science and Technology. I am looking forward to an even more fulfilling andenjoyable student life.

I decided to study abroad in order to gain specialized knowledge related to health services management.
After enrolling in Hiroshima International University and studying for 4 years, this year I advanced to theHiroshima International University Graduate School to gain a deeper level of knowledge. There is a lot of
specialized vocabulary related to health services management and it was rather difficult at first. This year I
will decide the subject for my master's thesis, collect materials, and write the thesis. I am enjoying an
extremely fulfilling life as a university student, and have many opportunities to encounter Japanese culture
and customs.

I came to Japan to study from Szechuan Province in China. Now I am a second

Gakuin University has an extensive system of scholarships for international

I studied nutrition in the Department of Food and Nutrition at Hiroshima Bunka
Gakuen Two-Year College. Hiroshima has beautiful sea and mountains, and apleasant climate, making it a very nice place to live. At school I was trying tobecome a nutritionist and also to obtain many other certifications. Another goodthing about this school is that it has a good system for supporting overseas
students, including a tuition exemption and original scholarship system.

The slogan of the Kure National College of Technology is "Creating Your Future
Together". It means that with effort and with instruction by the teachers,
students are able to achieve their dreams. In Malaysia, there are beautiful rivers
that remain free of pollution. My dream is to study a range of environmental andcivil engineering at KNCT in order to keep these rivers beautiful in the future. As
expected, attending classes in the Japanese language is difficult, however the
instructors and my friends are kind and have helped me at every opportunity.
This college is the first step toward achieving my dream.

The school is located on an island, far from the noise of the city so it is a pretty
quiet place. There is much nature around the school and we are always
surrounded by beautiful ocean views. When a busy day of studying is over, we
can enjoy the hills and sea, and when the weather is good we can see somelovely sunsets. This is a good way to forget the busy schedule of the day andrefresh ourselves. Of course there is also a full range of facilities and instructors
who provide support for international students. As a result, we can enjoy ourlives as we study for a better tomorrow.

I decided to study in Japan because I wanted to broaden my world. By speaking
Japanese with Japanese persons, I learned how interesting the language is, andlearned to enjoy it even more. The IGL instructors are all very kind and very
enthusiastic, and provide instruction tailored to meet the unique needs of eachindividual student. At consultations for advanced study, the instructors gave
even more thought to my career path than I had myself, and gave me a range ofadvice. In the future, I would like to work as an interpreter using Vietnamese,
Japanese, and English.

I came to Japan in April 2013. It was my first time in Japan, and I faced anumber of difficulties in everyday living. However because I had made the effortof leaving my home country and come to Japan bearing the hopes of my father,
I decided that I should work hard in studying the Japanese language. I studied
anywhere and anytime when I had a spare moment. After 1 year, I was
extremely happy to have achieved good grades and been able to get ascholarship. Now I am working as an office staff at a Japanese language schoolin the San-in region, and am helping take care of international students in theireveryday lives.

The YMCA has extensive facilities and equipment for studying, and also
conducts a wide range of international exchange activities. The instructors
always teach according to the learning pace of the students, and provide
support to match the purpose of study and future plans of each student. What
impressed me the most was how enthusiastic the teachers are, and way that
their enthusiasm produces an atmosphere among the students that results in
the ideal learning environment. In addition to Japanese language learning,
Japanese culture is a part of our everyday life, and thanks to the YMCA I am
enjoying a very fulfilling student life overseas.

Looking back at the past, I feel that I learnt a lot in this year and a half spent
here. I experienced a lot of the Japanese culture like Tea Ceremony, Flower
Arrangement and wearing a Yukata. I also visited the Mazda factory. There, I
was able to see the wonderful characteristics of Japanese enterprises. Also, I
passed the N1 level Japanese Language Proficiency Test and enter my desired
Master’s course. In the future, I also want to study about cars. Hiroshima
Human Welfare College is waiting for you! Good luck!
